In this Substack Live conversation, I spoke with Daniel Hunter, the founder of IndieThinkers. I share the origin story of my newsletter community, Please Hustle Responsibly, which started from my early 2023 posts on Medium before transitioning to Substack and later beehiiv. We also discussed the evolution of content platforms, the challenges of maintaining a community, and the importance of platforms that prioritize creator well-being over virality. They delve into the potential future of community-oriented and ad-supported models for platforms like Substack, beehiiv, and others. As Daniel Hunter's screen name is @codenprose, we had to dive into vibe coding and AI web development. Check out IndieThinkers now at https://www.indiethinkers.com/
